Question

Helppp me please!!!!!

Answer 1

3^-2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

Explanation:

3^4 * 3^-6

Using the properties of exponents

We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)

3^4 * 3^-6 = 3^-2

If we only want positive exponents

We know that a^-b = 1/a^b

3^-2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

We can also look at it

The negative exponent puts the 3's in the denominator

3*3*3*3 * 1/ (3*3*3*3*3*3)

Canceling

1/ (3*3)

1/9
